On Sep. 11, authorities in France discovered 30 mysterious suitcases on a flight from Venezuela containing 1.3 tons of cocaine. According to CNN, this abudnace of pure white is worth 200 million Euros, i.e. $270 million. Though the seizure happened over a week ago, it wasn't made public until yesterday.

The cocaine suitcases were discovered on an Air France flight from Caracas headed to Paris, but CNN affiliate BFMTV says that they did not match up with any of the passengers on board. French Interior Minister Manuel Valls said that "several" people were taken into custody, CNN reports.
